Landscapes of the Learned: Placing Gaelic Literati in Irish Lordships 1300-1600
Gaelic literati were an elite group in the social hierarchy of late medieval and early modern northern European societies, influencing many areas of public life, including education, law, medicine, farming, culture, and politics. FitzPatrick explores the archaeological and historical records to understand this intellectual culture and exercise of power.
